Impact of Hemodialysis on Dyspnea and Lung Function in End Stage Kidney Disease Patients

Figure 2

(a) Relationship of the 𝑃_𝑖max with the duration of hemodialysis for the 25 patients before and after hemodialysis (𝑟=0.614, 𝑃<0.001 and 𝑟=0.766, 𝑃<0.001, resp.). Black dots: 𝑃_𝑖max before hemodialysis. White dots: 𝑃_𝑖max after hemodialysis. (b) Relationship of the 𝑃_𝑒max with the duration of hemodialysis for the 25 patients before and after hemodialysis (𝑟=0.489, 𝑃=0.013 and 𝑟=0.701, 𝑃<0.001, resp.). Black dots: 𝑃_𝑒max before hemodialysis. White dots: 𝑃_𝑒max after hemodialysis.
